so recursion depth is limited only by the process stack limit.
reorganizing evaluator so the same code is used for evaluating
and pushing arguments for both builtin functions and lambdas.
for now this is slower, but it was done in preparation for
Things To Come.
adding list-head
implementing the calling convention for long argument lists in
bytecode compiler. arguments are broken down into a nest of
list and nconc calls.
also implementing vararg builtins.
fixing bug in ios, not initializing readonly flag
updating string and sizeof to use new strstream functions
removing some redundant numeric type init functions
enabling type-specific print and relocate behavior
allowing GC to be triggered by large buffer allocations
adding hash table constructor and print function
renamed some functions
explicitly represented in an fltype_t struct, and symbolic
types are hash-consed. a lot of code is smaller and simpler
as a result. this should allow more features in less space
(both code and data) going forward.
changing \DDD and \x escape sequences to read bytes instead of
characters
re-fixing uint64 cast bug
adding Paul Hsieh's hash function, to be evaluated later
some cleanup
moving some library code around for size optimization
now using == instead of flt_equals for float comparison, mostly
for hash compatibility
better text representation of infs and nans
removing construction of low-level numeric types directly from strings
adding hash function corresponding to equal
better way to initialize builtins
moving advanced bitvector ops to separate compilation unit
rearranging hash table code so it can be specialized for different
comparison functions
one good way to bloat a piece of software is to add several
ASCII pictures of the mona lisa
after all that's the whole point of bitvectors
some prettyprinting tweaks
more uniform way to handle forwarding pointers. fix forwarding
of gensyms
:keyword symbols
fixnums still have 30 bits
moving towards making "guest functions" more opaque; their type is now
just 'builtin
pretty printing some forms better: defun, defmacro, for, label
support *print-pretty*
